Date: 2009-10-04 03:28 pm (UTC)I don't wanna retype it. So, in brief: heard an interview with a physician researching vitamin-D deficiency. He described correlations between too little vitamin-D4 and several things, including immune function. Pointed out that correlation!=causation. Also pointed out that, over the past 50 years, the people of the industrialized nations are getting less and less direct sunlight.
His recommendations were: Get Outside and do stuff, for at least 1 hour, each day. Doesn't need to be 1 hour all at once. The activity's good for you, anyhow. Just get 1 hour overall of direct sunlight. If you can't, take a vitamin-D4 supplement (1000-2000 units), and eat a handful of nuts (almonds, walnuts, or similar) or sunflower seeds for their magnesium contents. (Those nuts are good for you in other ways besides.)
I'm going to give it a try, to see if it helps with all of my winter colds. But I'd agree (as would this doctor I heard) to beware of quackery cure-all claims.
